When it comes to social media, there are a few celebs we think are well worth following. And while some might make the list because of their jaw-dropping bikini pics, or their fashionable looks, Emma Heming Willis inspires us in a different way – she shows what true love is all about.
On social media, Bruce Willis‘ longtime wife gets candid with followers about being his care partner in his journey with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Just this week, Emma talked about her mixed feelings as she celebrates her and her husband’s 17th anniversary. “17 years of us ❤️,” she wrote in the Instagram caption, alongside a sweet picture of them in the ocean overlooking a sunset.
“Anniversaries used to bring excitement — now, if I’m honest, they stir up all the feelings, leaving a heaviness in my heart and a pit in my stomach,” she added. “I give myself 30 minutes to sit in the ‘why him, why us,’ to feel the anger and grief. Then I shake it off and return to what is. And what is… is unconditional love.”
“I feel blessed to know it, and it’s because of him,” she continued. “I’d do it all over again and again in a heartbeat ????.” How beautiful!
As a reminder, Emma and Bruce, who have been married since 2009, share daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10. Bruce also shares daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
In the comment section, Emma’s followers are pouring in love and admiration for her strength. “Think about the example of pure, unconditional love you are giving to your daughters ♥️,” wrote one commenter. “Congratulations on your anniversary from a daughter who is living the same experience and is so proud of my mom’s strength. They are so proud of you, I promise. ✨”
“The most beautiful example of love and class and dedication!” echoed another supporter. “I know it’s not even the slightest bit easy, but thank you for reminding the rest of the world there is so much power and magic in being strong and vulnerable and the same time. [All] my love and light to you and your precious family! ❤️”
Bruce’s daughter Tallulah, who just recently got engaged to her partner Justin Acee over Christmas, also chimed in. “I love you so much,” she wrote to her stepmom. “Both of you 321.”
Our hearts go out to Emma during this special date.
